to organize thisvaluable work by characterizing the nature and effects of the landscape of stressors experiencedby doctoral engineering students. In Year 1 of this project [21], we employed a longitudinalmixed methods study design to identify the most common and severe stressors experienced by acohort of students at one institution. Drawing from the results of this study and a review of theliterature on graduate student stressors, we developed the Stressors for Doctoral StudentsQuestionnaire for Engineering (SDSQ-E) and administered it twice, in fall 2022 and in spring2023. The SDSQ-E measures the severity and frequency of stressors including advisor-relatedstressors, class-taking stressors, research or laboratory stressors, campus life and
services.3. Methods3.1 Participants and Study Design The study participants included seven students enrolled in an upper level undergraduatecourse (MFET 37400 Manufacturing Integration I) offered at a satellite campus of a largeresearch-focused university. This campus primarily consists of students in the MidwesternUnited States that intend to remain in the region and join the manufacturing sector of theworkforce upon graduation. Seven students participated in the assignment, consisting of fivemales and two females ranging in age from 18-22. The nature-inspired podcast creation curriculum was implemented over a 16-weeksemester as six modules that occurred concurrently with the regularly scheduled weekly topiclectures and laboratory
conferences.Wendy CagleDr. Scott Rowe, Western Carolina University Scott Rowe is an Assistant Professor in Western Carolina University’s School of Engineering + Technol- ogy.

These were the types ofopportunities that were built into the Rising Scholar Program. Consequently, the research team designed a program that channeled the selected studentsinto significant levels of contact with professional personnel at the university. Students weretaught how to acquire and nurture mentors. They were required to participate in workingexperiences in a faculty member’s laboratory and develop their own research project, inconjunction with a faculty member.

areeffective and welcomed. These strategies can be tailored to other engineering courses. There have been various pedagogical approaches specifically designed for probability andstatistics courses for engineering students. For example, the use of technology was discussed in[1], where the author also illustrated the helpfulness of laboratory-like exercises through computersimulations in a probability and statistics course in Texas A&M University. A set of constructivistexercises have been developed in teaching probability and statistics in the University of SouthFlorida [2] to promote realistic mathematics education and inquiry-oriented teaching and learning.These exercises encourage students to work in teams, create their own knowledge, and

First year engineering students areexposed to these skills early on through an introductory engineering course, simulating a real-world engineering environment through team projects. These skills are built upon throughout thecurriculum, particularly in required laboratory courses. In MSE, senior students take twosemesters on engineering design as a core major requirement. The first senior capstone designcourse, “Sustainable Materials Design”, has been restructured to focus on the economic,environmental, and social impact of engineering materials and processes through semester-longteam projects. The objectives of the Sustainable Materials Design course are: 1. Identify and compare approaches to

In addition, Python libraries such as numpy, matplotlib, pandas, scipy, plotly and schemedraw are all required on the PCs. • To enhance collaborative learning among students (team members) as
